What is Springboard+?

The Springboard+ initiative offers free full-time and part-time courses at Certificate, Degree and Masters level.
All courses lead to qualifications in enterprise sectors which are growing and need skilled personnel, including information and communications technology (ICT); international financial services; and cross-enterprise skills such as digital marketing.

We are now taking applications for new courses starting in Spring 2018.

For further information on Springboard+ DBS course offerings, entry requirements, eligibility criteria and application procedures visit the DBS Springboard+ page or the Springboard+ website.

Student Testimonial

"In September 2015 I applied for a number of colleges and I got accepted to every course I applied to and was eligible for. I chose DBS.

This led to one of the most enjoyable times of my life. I met new friends, learned so much and at the end of it got a placement in the same company I work in now, in a job that I love and feel I’m very good at." - John O'Sullivan, Springboard+ Higher Diploma in Computing.
